1638 - Count Substrings That Differ by One Character\. Medium Given two strings `s` and `t`, find the number of ways you can choose a non-empty substring of `s` and replace a **single character** by a different character such that the resulting substring is a substring of `t`. In other words, find the number of substrings in `s` that differ from some substring in `t` by **exactly** one character. For example, the underlined substrings in `"computer"` and `"computation"` only differ by the `'e'`/`'a'`, so this is a valid way. Return _the number of substrings that satisfy the condition above._ A **substring** is a contiguous sequence of characters within a string. **Example 1:** **Input:** s = "aba", t = "baba" **Output:** 6 **Explanation:** The following are the pairs of substrings from s and t that differ by exactly 1 character: ("aba", "baba") ("aba", "baba") ("aba", "baba") ("aba", "baba") ("aba", "baba") ("aba", "baba") The underlined portions are the substrings that are chosen from s and t. **Example 2:** **Input:** s = "ab", t = "bb" **Output:** 3 **Explanation:** The following are the pairs of substrings from s and t that differ by 1 character: ("ab", "bb") ("ab", "bb") ("ab", "bb") The underlined portions are the substrings that are chosen from s and t. **Constraints:** * `1 <= s.length, t.length <= 100` * `s` and `t` consist of lowercase English letters only.
